Chin Spoiler Trouble >:(
Ok, so.... WTF did you all use to attach your chin spoilers?
When i got mine, (ordered direct from ford during the big chinspoiler availability scare of 2005) it diddnt come with **** to fasten it on except for these 3 plastic screw things.
Anyways, i knew that **** wouldnt be enough, so i went to Checker auto and bought some more, and everything has been fine and dandy, except they dont seem to last long and they keep breaking.
Last night on my was home i ended up hitting a dip pretty hard SMACK! and now my ****ing chin spoiler is hanging off in the front.
Those plastic screws are bull****.
What does eveyone else use?

The plastic push pins are made to give. IF you would of hit the dip with screw your chin and front bumper would of been trashed. Id rather replace a chin spoiler than a bumper. You have to be more careful, I for one can not go through dips so I avoid them.

I bought my one for my old car from ssinserts.com and it came with about 10-12 plastic push pins, never had a problem and held on great.

I just put mine on and damn that looks sexy........I took 4.6 Love's idea and put about 10 SS screws in and that is way easier than trying to put those damn pushpins in
